SOME PHOTOS OF MY EXPERIENCE AT VEG AWAKENING 2007

This is just photos, all by the extraordinary New York food photographer, Linda Long, who must have taken thousands of photos and just never stopped!

This is just a few, because it takes me a while to edit and resize all the photos for the blog, and I'm computer-weary this week. I'll be posting more pics of the chefs, the food, the audience, the students, etc., very soon!

For a review of the 2007 conference and more photos, check out the April 15, 2007 post at this website.

Thanks so much for sharing about the conference. I am amazed by all I see going on in the Seattle and surrounding area of the world, surely I would have a hard time finding a meat eater up there by seeing the wealth of veg blogs! Sometimes I feel fo far from "veg" civilization in the middle of pesticide fields, cow, pig, and chicken factory farms. The little farmer is almost extinct here unless they have turned towards factory farming... "it's the only way one can make a living today" one farmer I know says.

I'm awake down here though and secretly turning a whole generation of highschoolers in the middle of the "heartland" into vegs!

I wish we had a good, encouraging word for the "almost vegetarians." Whenever I talk to someone like that, they simply say they are "trying to eat less meat" or "trying to eat healthier." (One is tempted to put on a Yoda voice and say, "There is no try... there is only do.") I once thought "veg-conscious" would do, but it isn't quite descriptive enough. Maybe "veg-aware?"

ABOUT MISSING PHOTOS ON OLDER BLOG POSTS:

If you are wondering what happened to the photos on my older blog posts, here's the deal: I used to use Photobucket to store my photos and uploaded them to my blog posts from there. Since about 2012, I have uploaded pics from my computer files instead. All of a sudden, Photobucket is demanding $39 a month for storage and you can't download pictures to blogs or other sites unless you pay that. I find that fee outrageous (and I'm not the only one!). UPDATE: I discovered that I could upload albums from from PB to my computer (or external hard drive). So, I have done that, but it took a couple of days. Now I just have to locate the correct pictures for the old blogs! One step at a time. My apologies... please bear with me! BCG
